it came from the trailer park!

this morning i was scanning my shelves for a tome to read on the john.  hey don't judge me.  i know we take our phones in the bathroom now but call me old fashioned.  i like to read a book or journal printed on paper sometimes too.  i've been slowly reading thru the letters of thom gunn.  a couple of poet friends mailed/emailed me some books too in pdf & hard copy.  but i wanted to read about the detritus of our popular culture.  i wanted to read an essay or movie review.  because i had forgotten about the deep pleasures that a really bad movie can provide.  below is the trailer for a flick i have yet to see.  but this movie features one of the exploitation movie greats, sid haig.  he's the dude in this trailer who calls himself 'the dingiest.'  does this kind of racing exist in today's modern world?  i doubt it but i recall figure 8 racing was a thing when i was a wee lad.  this shit is nuts.  in a good way.  i fucking love this trailer.  it's goofy manic devil-may-care fuck you kinda vibe.  this is the kind of movie that was made for the drive-ins.  turn on tune in have a beer or a few.  & dig it!
